Universal adjustable cover

Abstract

A universal adjustable cover 20 for a lighting fixture 10. Universal cover 20 has openings for mounting on a conduit 50 parallel to the ceiling, and additional openings 22 for angle mounting and 24 for mounting on a vertical conduit. Universal adjustable cover eliminates need for stocking a large number of lighting fixtures for only one mounting configuration.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A lighting fixture having a universal adjustable cover wherein said universal adjustable cover having mounting means thereon, said mounting means including at least one through feed conduit opening, a pendant conduit opening, and an angled conduit opening, said openings disposed on said cover to provide a mounting for selected physical attachment of one end of a conduit thereto to support said cover and provide an electrical conduit path thereto, said conduit extending into only one of said openings, said conduit having a second end attached to a mounting surface, to support said fixture with respect to said mounting surface, said conduit including wiring path means for introducing wire into the fixture. 
     
     
       2. The lighting fixture as in claim 1, wherein said angle conduit opening is an aperture in said adjustable cover and is angularly disposed from said pendant opening by 25 degrees. 
     
     
       3. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said angle conduit opening is an aperture in said adjustable cover and is angularly disposed from said pendant opening by 12.5 degrees. 
     
     
       4. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said cover has an opening angularly disposed from said pendant opening by 25 degrees and an opening angularly disposed from said pendant opening by 12.5 degrees. 
     
     
       5. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said lighting fixture can be rotatably adjusted about an axis parallel to said through feed conduit opening. 
     
     
       6. A lighting fixture as in claim 5 wherein flats on said cover limit the amount of rotatably adjusted about an axis parallel to said through feed conduit opening. 
     
     
       7. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said lighting fixture can be rotatably adjusted 360 degrees around said pendant opening. 
     
     
       8. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said lighting fixture can be rotatably adjusted 360 degrees around said angle conduit opening. 
     
     
       9. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said through feed conduit opening has a set screw to lock said cover in place after installation. 
     
     
       10. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein the fixture includes a housing attached to said cover, and said cover has a hinge so that said housing maybe swung down in order to attach electrical wiring to components in said housing. 
     
     
       11. A lighting fixture as in claim 1 wherein said cover has a second through feed opening. 
     
     
       12. A lighting fixture spatially supported, with reference to a structural surface, by a conduit, comprising; a cover;   a housing attached to said cover;   said cover having multiple conduit attachment means for attaching said cover to the conduit, each of said attachment means disposed on said cover in relation to said housing to locate said housing in a different position with respect to said structural surface dependant upon the selected mounting of the conduit to one of said mounting attachment means;   wherein said multiple attachment means include threaded apertures disposed in a first pendant mounting flat, an angled flat disposed at an angle of 25 degrees to said pendant flat, and a through mount boss disposed at a 90 degree angle to said pendant mounting flat.   
     
     
       13. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein said housing is structured to direct lighting therefrom, and said multiple attachment means includes a pendant mount aperture therein disposed to receive the conduit and direct said light vertically with respect to said structural surface. 
     
     
       14. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein said housing is structured to direct lighting therefrom, and said multiple attachment means includes at least one through aperture therein disposed to receive the conduit and direct said light normal to the conduit received within said through aperture. 
     
     
       15. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein housing is structured to direct lighting therefrom, and said multiple attachment means includes an angled aperture therein disposed to receive the conduit and direct said light at an angle with respect to said structural surface.
